Does RSI(14) 50-line cross actually work on MSTR? We tested it

This strategy made a very large total profit of over 1000%, but the ride was extremely lumpy and painful. The worst moment was a staggering 71.6% drawdown that lasted from February to July 2021, meaning your account would have lost nearly three-quarters of its value during that stretch. Only about one in four trades was a winner, which tells you the strategy relied on a few big home runs to overcome many small losses. The entry timing has a strong edge, beating 84% of random entries, so the signal to buy when RSI crosses above 50 while price is above the 200-day moving average is doing most of the work. The consistency figure shows the edge held up in three out of four test periods, so the profit wasn't just from one lucky streak.
